HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 2x Xeon Bronze 3204 64GB DDR4 No Drive rack server

Dual-socket Xeon Bronze server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 arrives as a 2U rack system with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets IT teams that need a reliable compute platform for virtualisation, database or general-purpose workloads in a standard rack environment. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays so storage can be added to match the application. No drives are included in this configuration.

Smart Array P408 with iLO Advanced

A HPE Smart Array P408 SAS controller manages SATA drives and provides hardware RAID for data protection. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced, giving administrators out-of-band access for firmware updates, power control and health monitoring from anywhere. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies deliver redundancy without occupying extra rack space. An Intel I350/X540 network card supplies two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports for flexible connectivity.

Upgrade from single-socket or older Gen9

Organisations moving from a single-processor server or a previous-generation ProLiant gain a second CPU socket, doubled memory channels and the P408 controller in one step. The jump is worth it when workloads need more cores, larger memory capacity up to 3TB or 10GbE networking without adding expansion cards. Buyers who require pre-installed storage or GPU acceleration should look at alternative configurations.
